LeMaire FW 2024 collaboration, Paris, FR
Collaboration with French Fashionhouse LeMaire for their Fall-Winter 2024 collection.
Patterns mimicking marble and wood lend texture to the fabrics and accentuate LeMaire’s signature gestures while strange flowers adorn the borders of a collar in hand embroidery.
Painted Books, We like Art, Amsterdam, NL
The painted books we made for We Like Art resemble the flat cabinets, murals of a decorated cabinet in real size, which form the beginning of our cabinet project.
These ‘flat’ cabinets look very natural, partly because a cabinet is always against a wall. It is the entire appearance without the content. We love the title sequences and credits of films, the cover of the film in fact.
Some are so good that you hardly need the film anymore. For example, the flickering opening of Gaspard Noé’s ‘Enter the Void’ or the credits of ‘Springbreakers’ by Harmony Korine.
That is also the case with the painted books: it is an announcement, a pars pro toto. They are as big as a book and the title and author are on them. On the back of most of them we have written the first and last sentence as a kind of blurb.
Dries van Noten, Paris, FR
Dries Van Noten invited us to collaborate on a collection of mens clothing, we designed fabrics and painted a 70 meter long mural in the Grand Palais for the show of the collection. We also made some paintings on the shop windows of the Antwerp flagship store. A year later we made a very large mural in the galery of Piercarlo Borgogno in Milan. We painted life size figures and nailed clothes from the collection on the walls to dress them.
